The National Meteorological Center said the heavy rainfall in Guangxi, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces could continue for days to come and warned people to exercise caution and watch out for landslides and flood.

The heavy precipitation in 10 provinces of South China has led to the heaviest downpours of the year, affecting millions, China News Service said.
